J. J. Graves gave us a call last
week. Tho hail storm loug-to-be-rpmembered
struck his place, but
only the edge of it. He believes
the stricken crops will survive, but
there were many places in the track
of the hurricane, where the crops
were ground lo powder.

Considerable wheat was de
stroyed in the middle path of the
storm of the 11th, but along the
edges it was not fatally damaged,
and will probably make about a
half crop. It is said that the corn
will recover from the beating that
it received, and that it now looks
well.
On account of tho threatening
appearance of the clouds Suuday

Sup't. Moncrief was engaged
three days of last week in visiting

few facts to picture a specimen Ne
braska farm, but it would do them
more good to come and see for
themselves what Nebraska has done
and what Nebraska can do for the
men who put their shoulders to the

OUR NEW BIRTH.
The Day iv: Celebrated, and
Hoir it was Done.
Had any other day of last week
than Thursday been selected for the
celebration of our second uatal day,
it would, perhaps, have been more
or less a failure because of the
weather, unless, indeed, the native
giit of Nebraskans, proved in a
thousand ways before, had proved
superior to the weather again.
Thursday opened with just enough
of clouds to make a good parasol
and just enough of gently-falling
rain-drops to lay the dust, and lend
a freshness ami dewy flavor to
the air.
All morning, town's people were
busily engaged iu preparing for the
day, by putting their houses in order,
stretching streamers across the
streets, nailing the national ensign,
in all sizes, to every convenient post,
and pillar and where it might float
unobstructed to the breeze. Vehicles
of all kinds were coming from cver
direction bringing country folks to
take part in the social pleasures of
the day, while, ut regular intervals,
D. N. Miner played the Anvil
Chorus, sending its echoes far and
wide.
It seemed but a short hour until
the Albion train of cars arrived
under tho conduct of Owens assisted
by II liber, with eight hundred and
fifty souls on board, engineer Wells
and fireman Raker tilling the air
with shrill long blasts from their
locomotive a sort of reveille for the
opening exercises of the day.
Iu a short time the Norfolk train
crowded with about fifteen hundred
people pulled up at tho station, all
sate aud sound under the watchful
care of couductor Overton and his
assistant Godfrey, aud the engine
drivers, Justice and Campbell.
Theso trains were "accompanied"
by the cornet, bands of Albion and
Madison respectively, ohr own band
discoursing excellent music all day
except a brief interval for dinner.
Shortly after tho passage of the
eastward hound express with the
open-eyed wonder of its passengers
at such a largo gathering, Jhe ap
pointed exercises of tho day began,
tho Albion band leading oil' nicely
with tho music at tho speakers' stand
north of the U. P. depot.
The meeting was called to order
and presided over by Judge J. G.
Higgins, who delivered the address
of welcome, and on behalf of the
city of Columbus, shook hands with
Rooue, Nance and Madison counties,
congratulating all parties interested
in the rapid settlement and develop
ment of the country, the spirit of
progress that is abroad in this land,
and bidding God -speed to that great
evangelist of civilization, the rail
road, which is binding communities
together iu the interests of com
merce. He excused himself from
further speaking iu the presence of
the eloquent gentlemen from abroad,
aud introduced
JUDGE .1. M. THUHSTOX
of Omaha, who Baid that he thought
those helot c him had come here to
have a good time, aud rejoice over
the fact that their communities had
bppn joined together, welded to
gether commercially by strong iron
bands; that the farms of all this
northern and western country had
been brought nearer to the city of
Columbus.
The Judge said he had great dif
fidence in following Judge Higgins
who had spoken bo eloquently, for
he was a hard man to follow. He
had followed him two years ago,
although the judge didn't know
anything about it at tho time. He
was electioneering and he stopped
at a house where there was a very
sweet lift lo girl about fifteen years
old, a bright, loving young creature
to whom ho gave a stick of candy
and asked if Judge Higgins had
been there. "Oh, yes," she said, "he
was here a good while and he gave
me a pound of candy." Taking a
dime out of his pocket, he gave it to
the sweet little girl, saying, "Judge
Higgins didn't give you a dime, did
he?" "Oh, yes," she replied, "he
gave me a new, bright half-dollar."
Not to be outdone, he stolo a kiss
from the artless, innocent child, and
said, "Judge Higgins didn't kiss
you, did he?" "Oh yeB," she eaid
"he kissed mo and ho kissed ma,
too." Of course the audience was
in an uproar, and the chairman of
the meeting with the completest
gag of the season in his month, very
dignifiedly walked to the rear of the
stand aud stayed there until Thurs
ton was through. J
Mr. Thurston then delivered a
very effective short address, pictur
ing the magnificent future of this
section of the State and prophesying
that when the present babes grow to
mature manhood Nebraska will be
the greatest State of the Union, Co
lumbus the greatest city of the Platte
valley and the capital of the State.
He closed by saying that he had
thought of addressing himself par
ticularly to the young ladies on this
occasion, but fiudiug a handsome
youug bachelor from the Elkhorn
valley present, he would say no
more.
DR. BEAR
of Norfolk was then introduced, and
began by saying that far from ad
dressing an assembly of young
ladies he had never yet mustered
sufficient courage to make the all
important Bpeech to one, which ref
erence was all the pleasantry he in
dulged iu. He said he spoke the
sentiment of all their people when
he said, we rejoice in the comple
tion of a road which gives us con
nection with a thriving, prosperous
city. Norfolk looked with peculiar
prido upon Columbus because of
early associations and business re
lations, her first citizens getting here
all their supplies of lumber, goods,
&c, and their intercourse always
being marked with the uiino-t good
will. He predicted that the event
we celebrate will give a nrw impe
tus to the vigorous growth of Co
lumbus; new industries will spring
up, manufactures will arise, aud the
known energy,enterprise and wealth
of your citizens will make hero a
great city to which we shall all be
more or less tributary; to which we
shall all look up; of which we shall
all be proud. As we look forward
we can hope for the day when the
old longiug of Columbus, and the
aspirations of her earliest citizens
will be verified, by some lofty spire
or magnificent dome saying, here is
the Capitol of Nebraska, and here it
shall ever remain.
W. M. ROBERTSON'
of Madison said we are here to-day
to rejoice with the people of Colum
bus. Madison comes to Columbus
as a child would come to its father's
roof. The first settler in Union Val
ley was an old citizen of Columbus,
and helped to build up this town.
He extolled the energy, thrift and
intelligence which were making
Nobraska one of the grandest states
in the Union, and there was no rea
son why Columbus should not now
continue to bo one of the host cities
of Nebraska.
Loss than two years ago a Madison
man had to come here in a buggy,
a lumber wagou or, if strapped, foot
it iu, but now we can get our break
last as usual, step aboard tho cars,
come to Columbus, transact our bus
iness with you, and return home the
same day. We like it bettor aud we
know that the change will be mutu
ally profitable.
HON. K. K. SMITH
of St. Edwards spoke very briefly in
portraying the mutual advantages of
the new road, ami hoped that the
pleasant business relations of the
olden time would continue.
E. v. CLARK
of Genoa made a rattling Bpeech,
saying among other things that, the
county of Nance which ho represent
ed, had more handsome girls and
hotter lands thau any other. Natur
ally the scenes of to-day carry tho
memory hack to the times gono by.
Only ten years ago ho had gone to
Rooue county where there was but
one house, and now it is thickly
settled, and churches aud schools aud
happy homes appear on every hand.
What has done all this ? The pluck,
the energy, tho wealth of that corpo
ration (pointing to the U. P. road)
has had very largely to do with it,
and she will do yet more. She will
push these stretching arms further
aud further, until with one hand she
will lay hold of the pineries of Min
nesota and with tho other the min
eral wealth of the mountain?. The
mule team and tho oxen have given
place to the iron horse, and the eight
days journey of the distant home
steader of a few years ago can now
bo made in a fow hours. Columbus
h destined to be one of the richest
marta iu the State if she but works
together with that corporation in
developing the country tributary.
Tho exercises were enlivened by
music from tho Albion baud, also by
vocal music of a very superior order
from the Arian Quartette, Messrs.
Parr, Bowman, Cornelius and Par
sons, who rendered, in their happi
est mood. The March, Come where
the Lilies Bloom, The Pledge, The
Gay Pilgrim and The Holly Waltz.
The parade in the afternoon under
the marshalship of J. W. Early,
assisted by J. Rasmusscu and P. S.
Grifliu, was a novel feature for Co
lumbus and very creditable to the
business men who thus added to the
enjoyment of the day while they ad
vertised their goods, as well as to
tho Calithumpians who displayed
their ingenuity iu disguising them
selves. We have not spaue to de
scribe the various fantastic devices,
but leave tho imagination of our
readers to conjecture how the butch
er, the stock-dealer and the hard
ware merchant represented their
trades, aud how the dry-goods store,
the music store and the foundry, &c,
appeared on wheels. The following
was the ordor of procession : Mar
shal and assistants, Columbus Band,
Mayor and City Council, Police
mounted, Foundry, Fitzpatrick, Ila
gatz, Marble Works, Lawrence, Wig
gins's hardware,Heitkemper's cigars,
Foster's hardware on Hauna's wag
on, Anderson's stock ranche, Brew
ery, Singer Machine, Madison Band,
George Scott, Dowty, Weaver & Co.,
Scheck's cigars, Taunahill, Will. T.
Rickly, Elliott & Luers,Wm. Bucber,
Al. Rickly, Calithumpians, citizens.
INCIDENTAL.
Of the decorations Ed. Sheehan
always takes the lead. Between
Wiggins and Oehlrich a banner was
stretched, with two bells pendant,
swinging and ringing. Across the
street at M. Smith's, also at Kra
mer's and at Elliott's were suitable
banners.
Old men remarked that they bad
never seen so large a crowd so well
behaved, no drunk man, no fight,
no quarreling.
"Such a number of handsome
young girls," said a demure matron
lady, "it doeB me good to look at
them, with their beaux."
Godfrey and Huberwho were ap
pointed a special committee of safe
transit, report no accidents either
going or coming, and everybody
well pleased with the day and Co
lumbus. Tho estimated number in town
threo to four thousand.
Thurston told that same story on
Church Howe last winter.
If anyone had been close to the
barouche in which rode the city au
thorities he might havo found jtiet
where Messrs. Meagher, Burgess,
Rickly and Lamb posed on the li
quor question the Mayor would
not compromise the dignity of the
city, but he wauted tho beer; the
councilman from the third ward
wanted to kuow how the bottle was
to be opeuod ; first ward auswercd
the questiou by knocking off the
neck of the bottle. It is needless to
say what followed.
Tho Committee will report a con
siderable portion offunds on bauds.
The U. P. Company furnished a
great many more cars than prom
ised. The success of the day was due to
everybody iu geueral, to the gener
osity of the U. P. Co., in particular,
to the work of tho Committee ot
Arrangements, and tho other com
mittees, in good part, to the untiring
ellbrts of D. Anderson, (who was
almost besido himself when the day
ended), but above all to the spirit of
the occasion, which was fitly em
bodied on long streamers on
either side of one of the coaches,
" Norfolk 72 . -&& Colum
bus," and iSL &iR&! may the
fraternal 55 i feeling,
so eloquently alluded to by the
speakers, and so warmly felt by all,
over abide.
.. .
The increase in business is very
noticeable since the completion of
tho Lost Creok link of railroad. We
very heartily second the suggestions
of a correspondent in regard to the
establishment here of wholesale
houses. We believe that a whole
sale grocery, dry-goods store and
hardware store would do well, and
not interfere with ihe retail trade, of
course. Houses for tho transaction
of cither of these lines of busiuess
neod not necessarily be very fine or
costly, and we believe money could
bo made by cither from tho start,
more especially the grocery. Fre
mont has four wholesale groceries
which have, to a great extent, been
supplying the country that would
now be tributary to this city. To
the end of our branch roads, goods
could very readily be received on
the evening of the day ordered,
making it very convenient for buy
ers, and saving them great expense
by allowing them to order goods
only as needed.
The Valley county burglar
proof chest had been closed and
unloukable since the L'Sth of Febru
ary last, until W. B. Dale of this
place was called upon last week,
who opened it Thursday last, begin
ning his work at S a. m. and finish
ing at 2. Tho trouble was caused
by the breakiug of a pin, which was
probably done by a quick turn when
the lock was very cold. Wo may
remark right here, just as well as
anywhere, that if this country wants
ability of any sort, from tho open
ing of dead locks, to the running of
the general government on sound
business principles, this community
can furnish the requisite material, at
call. Send iu your orders.
Mr. John Harris, now of this
city, steps to the head of the class
on inventions. Ho is about to se
cure two more patents on recent in
ventions. One is to enable every
farmer to make his own brooms,
which consists of a tin broom mouth,
with 4 sets of teeth, one on each
9ide, which when closed hold the
broom corn tight and solid until the
broom corn is worn out and then
all the farmer has to do is to take
out and put in corn and he has a
new broom again. The other pa
tent will be known as the hydraulic
aud pressure pendulum power,
which Mr. Harris claims will work
a revolution in the 'power business.'
The coat of hauling brick long
distances by wagon is greater thau
the original cost of the brick. A
correspondent suggests that if some
one could be induced to make a lot
of brick on Looking-glass creek, or
Shell creek, say twenty to thirty
miles northwest of Columbus, he
would find plenty of purchasers for
them. We don't know how it may
be, but it would not be out of the
way for Flynn, Reimer or Moore to
consider the subject at least. What
ever the Journal can do in the way
of exchange of opinions iu further
ing public interests of this character,
it is ready at all times to offer.

Some of our agricultural papers
maintain that rye could be sowed in
corn and cultivated iu with the last
working of the corn, but some prac
tical young farmer says, it will not
do. It is too early. Rye, he says,
seems to need a season of rest after
it has grown to a certain extent.
Rut if aowu too early, it cannot
have that, and it don't seem to pros
per without it. Who is rigid?
Theoretical editors of agricultural
papers, or practical farmers? Will
some of the latter pleasp state in the
Journal their experience, for the
benefit of one or more
Fellow Farmers.
